1. This Week In Tech

This Week In Tech (TWiT) delivers some of the best discussions around current events in technology. Each week, there is a different panel of people with varying backgrounds, which gives unique perspectives on how the tech world affects not only technologists, but everyone else as well. The host, Leo Laporte, does a great job of providing alternative views on the issues to prevent group-think. - Hubert Liu, Rigor

2. "HBR Ideacast"

HBR Ideacast, which I listen to on SoundCloud, is an incredible platform for discovering new content. Why? HBR covers the context surrounding technology – how to build, use and profit from it in your business. It also covers topics essential for entrepreneurs from strategy and execution through to managing teams and leading change. - Tim Barker, DataSift

3. Future Thinkers Podcast

Future Thinkers is like a tech-based transcendentalism show where hosts Mike Gilliland and Euvie Ivanova analyze life through the paradigm of technology as opposed to nature. Technologists and futurists look at tech, bitcoin, sharing economy, and more as they relate to ethics, transhumanism, transcendent experiences, "the big question," etc. It brings deeper meanings to my life as a tech innovator. - Gurpreet Singh, TalkLocal

I like Tekzilla because it covers such a wide range of topics related to technology within business but also entertainment, lifestyle and other segments that I'm personally interested in. - Chalmers Brown, Due

5. TEDTalks Technology Podcast

By far the most outstanding technology podcast ever conceived is the TEDTalks Technology podcast. Nearly 100 of the very best technology-related TED Talks are compiled for on-demand listening. For me, I find the bite-sized nature of each talk at less than 15 minutes each equally digestible and inspiring. I also believe there are some hidden gem technologists like Sean Follmer who are mind blowing. - Scott Stiner, UM Technologies, LLC

6. "Starting From Nothing" - The Foundation Podcast

I enjoy "Starting from Nothing" - The Foundation Podcast. The podcast interviews successful tech entrepreneurs and tells their story of rising from humble beginnings to the apex of startup success. It's great fodder for inspiration and learning for entrepreneurs and wantrepreneurs alike. - Danny Boice, Trustify

7. AskGaryVee Show Podcast

The AskGaryVee show podcast offers detailed, up-to-date, no nonsense business, technology and marketing advice. It's easy to listen to with lots of relevant, current insights. - Arash Asli, Yocale
